THE SCHOOL, PRoRI.EM


The School Board will be confronted. at its
meeting tonight with a problem that will
require wise handling to meet the business ext
gencies of the case without seriously Gripping
the schools AS has been previously stated in
the Journal, the expenditures of the schools
have been increasing at "a faster rate than the
revenue, until they now exceed the income
The money is now going out faster than it is
coming in. The board is running behind at
the rate Of nearly $l5, 900 year. This state
of things cannot be permitted to continue
barrassment and ultimate disaster. 1t can
only be corrected in one way, and that is by
retrenchment of expenses. AS the
revenue cannot be increased, expendi-
lures must be reduced. This is necessity.
In this situation the board will be confronted
with the alternative of cutting the English
branches or cutting off German. 1t is not so
much question whether German should be
taught at all. The Journal has its opinion on
that subject and makes no concealment of it.
The question now is between English and
German. The board must retrench 1t must
do this on the English or the German side of
the schools, and the question is which. In
this situation we do not hesitate to say that
German should 60. The law SAYS "the COM
mon schools OF the State shall be taught in
the English language" German may be taught
under certain conditions, but English must
be under any conditions When tina question
is presented in this form there can be no
doubt as to the proper course to pursue The
retrenchment should begin at the top in the
fancy branches of the High-school, and nc =
the bottom in the, primaries. German should
be dispensed with. If any member of the board
opposes this, it must be because he puts Ger
man instruction above English, or because he is
bidding for the supposed German vote Let
the issue be made fairly and squarely, and let
the public see what member or members of
the board are German before they are Amer
ican and who, If any, is fishing after political
popularity with a special class
THE condition of the St. Louis school fund
is such that retrenchment is necessary, and
the question before the board of trustees is
whether to reduce the teachers salaries or to
abandon the teaching of German. By the
latter arrangement a saving of 500, 600 would
be effected. and it is urged by many citizens
who claim that the pupils do not obtain a
thorough knowledge of the language, and
that the little they do learn is of nevalue to
them. The trustees however, like those of
Indianapolis are cranky on the subject Of
German, and are so strongly inclined to the
other mode of retrenchment that the salaries
of the teachers will, undoubtedly, be cut
down. The average salary of St. Louis teach.

to break up the game of real bad gambler,
who was running 'brace game" on Omaha:
Jack Morrison, interviewed by a World re-
porter to-day, said that for several days he had

he explained, was not to pay off any grudge
against Soderstrom. but to protect the reputa-
ton of Higgins Kennedy, myself and other
proprietors Of the square game. l have nothing
whatever Of personal nature against Solder

way. You know. however that tho new law
naturally directs the attention OF the newspa-
pers and the public to the faro banks, and that
in all probability all of US will go out OF bust
ness before July l. when the law goes into effect.
When We quit, /, for one want to go out with as
good a reputation possible. If the newspa-
pers had discovered that Soderstrohn was run

us would naturally have had to suffer with him.
The public would have said not only that he
was a robber, but that the rest of US were no
better. Such statement would not be
true, and 1 proceeded against Soderstrom
simply for the protection of myself and my
friends"
This party has reputation to protect that is
